Genesis 33:2-7

2He put the servant wives and their children at the front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last.

3Then Jacob went on ahead. As he approached his brother, he bowed to the ground seven times before him.

4Then Esau ran to meet him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.

5Then Esau looked at the women and children and asked, “Who are these people with you?” “These are the children God has graciously given to me, your servant,” Jacob replied.

6Then the servant wives came forward with their children and bowed before him.

7Next came Leah with her children, and they bowed before him. Finally, Joseph and Rachel came forward and bowed before him.
